The roles of frequency and aperture in linac accelerator design

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6742056
Expressions for accelerating structure parameters, including those that determine the peak and average power inputs required to attain a given gradient, are given as functions of aperture to wavelength ratio for a 2..pi../3 mode disk-loaded guide. The value of the wavelength to aperture ratio varies over a large range, corresponding to group velocities that vary from nearly zero to nearly the speed of light. The parameters exhibit proper asymptotic behavior in both limits. These parameters are benchmark values to which parameters for other modes and for other structure shapes can be compared. For example, it will be shown that the increased peak surface field to accelerating field ratio due to increased aperture to wavelength ratio can be reduced by shaping the iris profile. Structure shapes are varied not only to show possible improvement of structure parameters, but also to improve ease of mechanical fabrication and temperature control. 4 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab.
